It seems really odd that games like GTA can exist on the app store and not this... Apple's rules are infuriating enough without them applying them inconsistently.

I think at this point, in the age of WhatsApp, Instagram, and Tumblr acquisitions, it would be disastrous if Twitter's strategy is anything but let soundcloud continue as a separate entity. The more you leave big and established platf

THough it's not about the headphones. It's about the style and brand. Everyone knows the iphone isn't the best bang for your buck feature wise in smartphones. Everyone knows Nest costs $60 to make on your own. But the point i

Kind of an odd question in that obviously tablets are quite established now. Tablets took off because they offered most of the features casual computer users need - web, email, facebook, youtube, aka basic communication and competent media

Agreed. He also misses the point - you're not supposed to have to refer to the manual. You probably read it once or twice and if it's well designed, you know how to use it. The manual has to be written for people who have no clue
